Back From Morocco - 4 x 4000m peaks plus more

Lots of 'stuff' to come over the next day or two, topos and thoughts on the area, places and people we met.

Welsh Winter Potential

There is a definite buzz at the moment; there is an excitement which only means one thing. WINTER!!! The forecasts are suggesting that it could be an interesting few days to come. When I left for school this morning there was snow in the garden and on the car. As it got lighter the mountains have shown that they have more than a dusting down to maybe 500m.
Metcheck was suggesting tempretures on Friday night of -10⁰c and described blizzard conditions. Met office were not predicting it to be quite as cold but still -5⁰c isn't bad for November. The signs are starting to suggest we are in for a good winter.


There are loads of great sources of information out on the World Wide Web but I have found:
Baggy Richards Blog – great for route reports conditions of areas in northern Snowdonia.
Huw's Gilberts Blog – Great for route reports and conditions generally from southern Snowdonia.
And
Welsh winter wiki – Route descriptions and topos, to be very useful.
(If you have any other good sources let me know and I will add them)


Here is to a good winters season of excitement.
